How to use Polycell Finishing Skim

1. Ensure surface and crack are dry and free from loose material.

2. It’s a good idea to touch in nails and screw heads with oil-based paint.

3. Stir Polycell Ready Mixed Finishing Skim Polyfilla to a smooth, creamy consistency.

4. Spread on with a paint brush using upward strokes.

5. Smooth over, using the free spreader moving in an upward curve.

6. Maintain a firm, even pressure. Don't worry about small irregularities or 'tramlines'.

7. Allow to dry for 2 to 3 hours until the surface appears matt.

8. Now use the spreader to achieve a flat, smooth finish, rewetting the surface if necessary.

9. After 3 to 4 hours you can re-wet the surface and rub gently with a damp cloth and use the spreader to remove and finish irregularities for a super-smooth finish.

10. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Prime before painting, size before papering.
